Falla del Camorro Via Ferrata, Cuevas de San Marcos. Nororma

Closure of the Cuevas de San Marcos via ferrata due to nesting

The Cuevas de San Marcos Iron Way (via ferrata) will be closed until the end of June 2024 due to the Bonelli's eagle and Peregrine falcon nesting by order of the Environment Delegation of the Junta de Andalucía.

 

This via ferrata climbing trail is not difficult except from two overhangs. The first of them is more complicated. There are two sections with no carved steps but with the cable. You will surely enjoy Belda Cave, which can be visited along this route.

Access

Follow the forest track that goes from the Senda de los Milenios (Millennium Path) Interpretation Centre up to a flat area some 1.3 kilometres away. From there, you can walk along the same track towards the Sierra del Camorro Viewpoint. At the first bend, where an abandoned quarry is, you will see a path that goes eastwards to the beginning of the via ferrata. The information board about this via ferrata is on the viewpoint, 50 metres away from the beginning of the path which leads to the trail.
